Glamping accommodations near Glen Flora offer both woodsy seclusion and modern comforts across northern Wisconsin's rolling terrain. Located in Rusk County at an elevation of approximately 1,200 feet, the area experiences distinct seasonal changes with summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F and winter lows regularly dropping below freezing. Fall brings vibrant foliage colors while spring offers wildflower viewing along forest paths and waterways.
What to do
River tubing adventures: At Hayward KOA, visitors can enjoy guided river tubing with shuttle service. "They shuttle you out and pick you up," explains one visitor who found the river tubing to be "the best" activity during their stay.
Water-based recreation: Lake Wissota State Park Campground provides boat rentals and water access points beyond the main beach. "Lots of walking, biking and horse trails that are full of wild berries. Several stairways down to the lake, no beach at these spots but good for taking the dog in the water since they aren't allowed on the beach," notes one camper.
Explore wilderness areas: The Black Lake NF Campground in Chequamegon National Forest offers primitive camping with complete isolation. "This particular weekend, it snowed and words could not describe how amazing it was. Complete isolation and a relaxing setting made our trip extra special," shares a visitor who camped at nearby Porcupine Lake Wilderness.
What campers like
Private wooded sites: Campers appreciate the natural separation between sites at Big Falls County Park. "This campground and campsites are large and you can hear the falls in the background. The campground is primitive with new power, water or sewer but there is an out house near the park," explains one reviewer who appreciated the well-maintained grounds.
Family-friendly amenities: Eagle Ridge Campground maintains excellent facilities for families. "Bathroom/shower house was very nice & large with 2 entrances. Large playground. Close to a ball park. Tons of geocaching in the area," notes a visitor who stayed during the campground's development phase.
Waterfront access: Treeland Farm RV Resort provides guests with complimentary watercraft. "You can also use peddle boats, kayaks, canoes, etc for FREE!! Or rent a boat or pontoon, which we did," shares one camper who enjoyed their four-day stay so much they immediately reserved for the following year.
What you should know
Variable site conditions: Sites at Chippewa NF Campground can vary seasonally. "Tent worms had infested the campground! Dropping from the trees and landing on you and all your belongings! Had picnic tables fully cobwebbed. Grass wasn't mowed," warned one visitor about their Memorial Day weekend experience.
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds require advance planning, especially for holiday weekends. "It was a Saturday on Memorial Day weekend...she was happy to announce that they did indeed happen to have a cancellation & she'd gladly hold the spot for us," shared one fortunate camper who found last-minute availability at Treeland Farm RV Resort.
Cell service limitations: Cell coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. At Chippewa NF Campground, visitors report "one bar on Verizon" while others note complete disconnection at more remote sites like Black Lake, where the isolation is often considered part of the appeal.
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Family campers benefit from campgrounds with diverse recreation. "Large 9ft heated pool, mini golf, large playground, horse shoes, volleyball, nice size water slide, covered stage for music, ice cream shop, huge jump pillow, and much more," reports a regular visitor to Hayward KOA.
Beach considerations: Lake Wissota State Park offers separate swimming areas for different users. "Beach is nice, even better that they have a separate beach area for your leashed dog! (It's where my little terrier learned how to swim)," shares one camper who appreciated the pet-friendly swimming option.
Weather preparedness: Northern Wisconsin weather can change quickly, affecting outdoor plans. "A group of 5 of us went camping and split ourselves among 3 campsites. Area is well maintained and the bathrooms (flushing toilets and showers) are cleaned regularly- however if you have to use the bathrooms between 7:30-8:30 am, use the pit toilets because that's when they are cleaning," advises a Lake Wissota camper.
Tips from RVers
Site size awareness: Large rigs require careful site selection. "There are alot of trees that make it very challenging for larger rigs. There are a handful of sites that would be easy to access, I recommend calling first. We have a 43ft 5th wheel," cautions an RVer who stayed at Hayward KOA.
Satellite internet considerations: Eagle Ridge Campground offers options for those needing connectivity. "If you've been anywhere in Minnesota or Wisconsin, you know about all the trees! As other reviews mention, this campground has a large grassy area - that gives a 100% clear obstruction for Starlink. We work full time, so this was important for us. HOWEVER, the other half of the campground is within a super treed area, so we got to pick!"
Full hookup availability: While primitive camping options abound, RVers requiring utilities can find suitable sites. "Large pull through sites. Wooded, concrete patio, picnic table, fire pit. Very quiet," notes a reviewer from Treeland Farm RV Resort, highlighting the spacious and well-appointed RV sites available near Glen Flora.
